About Vanessa

Experience: 4 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, and over the years have worked with many families. I have experience with infants and kids through the ages of 9 years old! I have had good experiences with my past jobs and have built relationships with the families that last to this day. I enjoy kids very much and don't mind helping with school work, driving them around, and keeping them occupied! I want the kids that I care for to have a good experience and be happy and feel appreciated around me. I am very energetic and am good at multi tasking! I have fun arts and craft ideas that I could do and and enjoy working on projects with the kids I sit! I am a pet lover and love spending time outdoors as well! Very self motivated and an organized person as well. For about two years I was nannying for a family with two girls that I met on here, ages 5 and 7. I drove them to activities daily, did meals, play dates, and took them places such as pool and parks often.

We had Vanessa as our Nanny for about 9 months. She was early on her very first day with us, which gave us a very good first impression. However, she gradually started to arrive late and was consistently 20-30 minutes late and would always have an excuse. She wouldn't even message me to give me the heads up that she would be late. She has never taken the initiative to organize activities like arts and crafts, she always needed direction. I would also have to prompt her to take the boys to the park, she would never ask the boys, she would literally wait until they expressed interest. She thought 15 minutes play time at the park was reasonable?? I had to explain to her that we/other Nannies usually spend about an hour or even more until the boys were fed up. She's a little precious about getting dirty/cold outside and would watch from inside in the winter?? Yesterday she was about an hour late and her excuse was she slept in... she is however kind, warm and respectful.
